Wanting to expand his comedic horizons beyond just greek life, Tatro created his second YouTube channel, LifeAccordingToJimmy, on November 23, 2011.[7][8] In addition to posting videos related to college greek life like he did with thejimmytatrochannel, LifeAccordingToJimmy features multiple playlists covering a wider range of topics.

Total Frat Movie

[edit]

In 2013, Jimmy Tatro and his close friend Christian A. Pierce were casted to star in Total Frat Movie.[10] Tatro announced his future role in the film on February 11, 2013 when he posted The Missing Piece to his LifeAccordingToJimmy channel. Tatro and Pierce were cast for the lead roles because the director and producer of Total Frat Movie decided casting YouTube personalities would be cheaper.[11] Also, because of their large online following, Tatro's YouTube channel would serve as a very cost effective way to advertise.[12]
